The Portland airport has touted its $2 billion renovation for being made of sustainably and locally sourced timber. In truth, we don’t know exactly where most of the wood came from, or how much came from sustainably managed forests. www.opb.org/article/2025...

A cozy relationship between a city administrator and a business lobbyist highlights potential conflicts of interest around Zenith Energy and other executive functions. Metro Chamber privately discussed Zenith with the mayor's admin staff before sending a letter supporting LUCS, records show.

The City of Portland has long argued Zenith Energy's land use credential is a simple administrative decision. Environmental advocates today sued the city, arguing state law requires a "quasi-judicial" process, meaning the public has sufficient notice and opportunity to comment.

“The goal is not to grow this system (of shelters),” Kotek told the House Committee on Housing and Homelessness. “Shelter is not the goal. Rehousing is the goal.” But Kotek said safe, available shelter is a necessary portion of her larger plan. More from @lmonghughes.bsky.social 👇

There was going to be a lawsuit regardless, either from zenith or Portland citizens. Thanks to those citizens we now also have a city council willing to step up. Thx to Jeremiah & @streetroots.bsky.social for amazing coverage!

“You can come up with a lot of ways in which this goes sideways very quickly for mountain communities, for forest communities and for anyone who lives in the wildland urban interface.” Everyone should be reading @aprilehrlich.bsky.social reporting on Forest Service cuts & what it means for Oregon.

To be clear: We are witnessing the dismantling of our firefighting system, leaving wild lands dangerously vulnerable to catastrophic fires. Not just on federal lands —This could weaken our mutual aid firefighting across the board. If you live near wild areas, prepare yourself and your family.

For months we were told a ceasefire could not be reached mostly because Hamas refused to release hostages, but the disparity in the number of Israelis v. Palestinians being released is staggering. The “prisoner” or “hostage” label does a lot of work here.

In the next few weeks I'll be introducing a process to submit your policy ideas to me. I've been cooking up this idea for a while now and I'm excited to try it out! My entire motivation to enter politics is to change the paradigm and return the power to the people. Y'all ready to lock in!? 💪🏾🫡

Great piece on academic writing vs narrative reportage. Rothman also nails how an otherwise laudably intense focus on text can close off talking. I'll ask students: "Did you contact the author of this study?" No, they didn't. Writing has a person behind it, & they're a source too.

Four city councilors have co-signed a resolution seeking an investigation into Zenith Energy's potential franchise agreement violations and asking the City Auditor to investigate recent "competing statements" by public officials. Councilors requested an addition to the full council agenda on 2/19.
